I wonder what would happen if I bit someone who worked for another investment bank?

Didnt the ref see it and take no action, as didnt he talk to Ivanovic. Therefore, the FA can't take any action?

This. As I said earlier

[Rich]

FA can act in exceptional circumstances - I'd wager they'll deem biting to be exceptional.

You'd probably be promoted these days

You'd probably be lauded for it.

I think it will depend what is in the refs report but given his previous there is no way he will get away without a ban.

It's a dog eat dog world.

He might have seen something - although that's far from certain - but I don't see how he can say he saw him biting someone when he didn't send him off.

Are not other players clearly going over the top of the ball to injure players not exceptional circumstances.

There has been no action taken on several cases recently, so why this?

[Vermilion]

Sky are ****ing loving this the scumbags. Shameful OTT coverage.

This is what i was on about earlier.

It is indefensible what Luis did, but get the level of indefense correct...if that makes sense? he was never going to end Ivanovich's career, but Sky and most of the rest will make it sound like Ivanovich could have lost an arm.

[Venton]

Unless of course he went to do it and didn't sink his teeth in. Be interesting to see what Ivanovich says.

Great lad and great player, love him.

Defoe biting Mascherano was the last incident in England like this, Sky say. Defoe booked, no further action taken.

Blame the media if you like. It's rare but the FA can retrospectively punish players - the Ben Thatcher forearm smash being such an incident iirc.
